Architecting large Node.js applications

Sergi Mansilla introduces one of the main components to hold Cloud9's architecture together: Architect.

  • Hi Sergi,

    I just came across your presentation and thought it is a very interesting approach to organize NodeJs applications.

    I am evaluating the Architect module to use on a project and have a question about how (if possible) to share the Architect plugins with applications that don't use Architect. I don't think it is possible without some work to clean the plugins to make it useable in other applications.

    Also, how would we package these plugins in npm to distribute them?

    Thanks a lot in advance for taking the time to answer my question Sergi.
